Honda Accord (2003-2007) Maintenance and Repair

Re: My regular 2004 Accord 4 cyl sedan routine [elroy5]

Written by: srizvi1 on Jun 07, 2008 07:50 AM

No problems really at all Elroy. My wife has a brand new 2007 Honda Accord she bought in late September, 2007 and it does feel a lot smoother.. I think my 2004 Accord, though pretty well maintained, can't really go back to that level.. old age is old age (plus, I do hit a lot of curbs here and there like an idiot) Read More...

'08 Accord EX V6

Written by: lilengineerboy on May 23, 2008 02:38 PM

I had the opportunity to spend an evening with an '08 Accord EX V6 this week. While its not a vehicle I would be in the market for, I do have a lot of appreciation for it. The driving dynamics were pretty amazing for how big a car it really is. The V6 felt very powerful and gave me a lot of confidence (perhaps too much) when merging and passing. I found the "ECO" cylinder ... Read More...

2008 Accord EX impressions

Written by: targettuning on May 22, 2008 06:18 AM

As many here know we rent a lot and a week ago I rented a 2008 Accord for a week. The car was brand new showing 76 miles when I picked it up. I wanted to post some impressions before the details got hazy. It was the base model, the EX I believe and had the 177 hp 4 cylinder 5 speed automatic combination. I drove mostly on interstates starting with a drive to BWI ariport via ... Read More...

VCM - Is it a real problem

Written by: holew on May 21, 2008 02:46 PM

Hi There: I have been viewing these pages since Nov 2007 when I started to think about buying a 2008 V6 with VCM. I checked the surging issues as best I could before purchase. Satisfied that I did not notice any or only a slight surging, I purchase a 2008 EX-L V6 on Dec 27 2008. Since then I have driven the Accord 7500 miles and only occasionally a very slight surge. Passengers ... Read More...

Honda Accord Lease Questions

Re: Buying an end-of-lease Accord [cjb8]

Written by: gtomberlin on May 16, 2008 10:44 PM

From mid 2003 until February 2007, I ran Finance and Insurance for a Honda Dealer. During that time, they were 100% Non-negotiable on the residual purchase price option that had been stated on a lease contract they had financed. If your mileage was in line with the lease terms, Honda Financial Services was extremely accurate with their residual estimates from ... Read More...

Honda Accord vs Acura TSX

Re: 2007 Accord EX V6 engine same as Acura TL? [dnwang12]

Written by: thegraduate on Oct 03, 2007 02:10 PM

Your friend told you wrong. :blush: The engines come from the same engine family, but are different. Acura TL has two engine options, a 3.2L with 258 horsepower, or a 3.5L with 286 horsepower (the 3.5L comes on the Type-S). The 2007 Honda Accord has a 3.0L with 244 horsepower. It is still plenty fast (0-60 MPH in less than 7 seconds). Read More...

Re: Honda Accord User Reviews [backy]

Written by: karpediem on May 07, 2008 02:45 PM

Note also that the 2008 Accord has more rankings than any other car on the list. So it will be interesting to see what happens to the scores of the other cars as more buyers rate them. Just to get more reviews I looked at the 2007 Altima reviews and 2008, since they are the same car. Total reviewers were 355 and the rating is 9.3 (9.2 '07 and 9.3 '08). I'd say 355 reviews ...

First oil change 2 years and 8500 miles later? 2006 accord

Written by: pathosrising on May 07, 2008 01:06 PM

I don't drive much, so when I read that the oil in my 2006 Honda Accord only needed to be changed every 6000 miles, I went almost a year without getting it changed, as the mileage was only like 3500. I called Honda to be sure it didn't need an oil change, and they said bring it in anyway and they'll check tire pressure, change the oil, and make sure everything's ok. I was ... Read More...
